S&W Model 310 Night Guard 10mm / .40S&W

S&W will be selling the S&W Model 310 NightGuard that chambers .40 S&W and its’ parent cartridge 10mm Auto. Because these are rimless cartridges moon clips will be needed to be used to hold the cartridges together.

This combination of cartridges could be quite beneficial to the budget conscious shooter (ie. every shooter). The cheaper .40 S&W would make a good practice round instead of the hot 10mm which could then be used as the primary carry round.

The revolver features XS Standard Dot Tritium Sights and a Pachmayr grip.

    1) Moonclips are not needed to fire the gun, only to give the extractor something to push against. Otherwise you have to pluck the empties out with your fingers one at a time.

    2) Expect street prices in the $850-$925 range, maybe less. S&W’s MSRP’s assume pretty optimistic markups in the cutthroat world of gun retailing…

    If there is another revolver out there that will chamber the .40 round pass it on. As a police officer I am looking for a reasonably priced back up that will allow me use of ammo on my duty belt if my primary weapon fails.

    How about that new Charter Arms revolver that doesn’t need moon clips at all?
